?cos(?x)dx

please help, it would be greatly appreciated if anyone could help!
thanks!
 
Integration by parts is a good way to approach this one.

cos(x)dx\displaystyle \int cos(\sqrt{x})dx

Let v=sin(x),   du=1xdx,   u=2x,   du=1xdx\displaystyle v=sin(\sqrt{x}), \;\ du=\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}dx, \;\ u=2\sqrt{x}, \;\ du=\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}dx

2xsin(x)sin(x)xdx\displaystyle 2\sqrt{x}sin(\sqrt{x})-\int\frac{sin(\sqrt{x})}{\sqrt{x}}dx

Use a u sub on the integral remaining and finish.
